THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, December 7, 1967 9 Greek Relic Proved Fake NEW YORK (AP) -- The Metropolitan Museum disclosed Wednesday that one of its most famous possessions, a 1514-inch bronze statue of a horse hitherto considered a priceless Greek relic from the pre-Christian' era, is in reality a fake only about 50 years old. The statue is so famous that a full-page color picture of it is used as.an illustration of great sculpture in the Encyclopaedia ments Nish Says the Metropolitan Mu- seum of Art in New York. A filed-down mark from the statue's mold, running down This small bronze horse, long considered a master- piece of ancient Greek art, is really a 50-year-old fake, the horse's nose, and a mis- placed bridle attachment hole halfway down the horse's mane, gave the Britannica, and several thou- sand casts of it have been sold to the public. The Britannica wrote that the statue had been made about 470 BC and praised its "beauty and grace." The museum's catalogue said the horse summed up "'in an el- oquent way the achievements of the Greek sculptor of this pe- riod." "The horse was probably made, three to six years prior to our acquisition in 1923, by an extraordinarily competent sculptor," said Joseph Veach Noble, the museum's vice-direc- tor for administration and chief art detective. Noble said he first spotted the fake in September, 1961, and that since then the horse had been withdrawn from exhibi- tion, although no public an- nouncement was made. forger away, says James V. Noble of the museum. The statue is 15 inches high. (AP Wirephoto) PSUS Radiation Danger Found ' In Some Color TV Sets ' .

The Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters' Association was told Tuesday by game management officials that the department has operated a check station for 10° years near Red Lake in northwestern Ontario. It is the only road out of the area and each year about 500 moose are recorded. The officials said their infor- mation also indicates moose are just as plentiful as they were 10 years ago.

Bell is a member of a com- munications consortium seeking government approval to set up a domestic space satellite vom- munications system for Canada. A similar application has been made. by the operators of CHCH-TV in Hamilton with Power Corp., a Montreal-based holding company. The Bouchette station is an experimental one but could fit into a network of about 15 simi- lar ground stations that could blanket Canada's Arctic for television, radio, telephone and data communications. Bell rigged a special TV cir- cuit from Bouchette to an Otta- wa hotel for the ground-break- ing ceremony. When Mr. Hell- yer pressed the button, the sig- nal went from Ottawa to Van- couver, back across the. country to Mill Village, N.S., via space satellite to England, back across the Atlantic Ocean by cable to Corner Brook, Nfid., from there to Montreal, back to! Ottawa and up to Bouchette. From the time Mr. Hellyer pushed the button until the blast appeared on the closed-circuit TV screens took about three seconds. On its journey, equivalent to more than twice around the world, the signal was carried on telephone lines, microwave sys- tems, through space to a satel- lite and back and by submarine cable, HIRAM WALKER & SONS, LIMITED, WALKERVILLE, CANADA, CANADIAN RYE WHISKY DISTILLED BY HIRAM WALKER & SONS LIMITED, WALKERVILLE, CANADA 4 eC. ate in a nationwide program to'surgeon-general, said in by Ira Levin. €@herney's SPECIAL PURCHASE MANUFACTURERS CLEARANCE ree yee at > | HARDING'S FAMOUS "CARVECRAFT" 4 BIG SAVINGS -- "ROOM-SIZE" RUGS CAMEO BEIGE -- ONE COLOUR ONLY oe, 5 Manufacturers' clearance of a discontinued colour makes this low price possible!
